PUT DOWN THAT DONUT! I am watching you. I know, I haven’t been watching lately.
I have no excuses. I am still chugging along at 2 lbs under goal. Those new habits have really kicked in. I am not journaling my food and exercise for the last couple of weeks. So far, so good. I know I have become obcessive over my no meat, no dairy, no sugar, no white flour, no trans fats. I eat all the veggies and fruit I can hold, sprouted bread, legumes, especially beans, all kinds of beans, walnuts, almonds, in moderation. I am trying new ways to exercise, within my limits. Happy? Yes, very. Getting stronger, have a new taste for green teas with a little soy milk. Another heart med was lowered….I can’t tell you how much better I feel. Saving a lot of money, too. No needles, insulin, or diabetic meds. I have joined the church I went to in my childhood (same denomination) since I can spin there (12 blocks)and the members get so much done in the community. Living waters for pure water in small towns in the mountains, work with Hospice. So many things that have interested me for years. The members are loving and welcoming….just like Buddyslim!! I have missed you all. I don’t know if I should come on here and comment. I really don’t want to sound smug. NEVER GIVE UP!!!! That is the most important thing. Find a plan that suits your lifestyle and keep at it. The rewards are fantastic! The pride you feel at combating this obcession and standing proud and tall. It is alright to have pride in a job well done. Even the everyday struggle to stay on plan, when you can look back over your day and know you have done well, or see your mistakes and find a way to prevent them next time. Be so careful when the stress is great. Find a way to get around that food that is calling you. That food is lying to you…it will not make you feel better. Maybe for a minute but the moment it is gone from your mouth, things just get worse. Not only are you stressed, but now you feel guilty, too. When it happens, get back on plan as soon as possible. Get on the computer and read some blogs. We understand each other. Forget and forgive your slips. We are human. That’s how we got in this situation. Thank you for your comments and for your wonderful support. I am here, just not on the computer as much. I am having a little problem with tremors in my hands. Today I am having to hold the mouse with both hands to get anything done. The Dr. doesn’t seem concerned because it comes and goes….just old age, I guess. Battle fatigue. I love you. Take care, Marge

Hi Marge, love reading your blogs and yes I put the jelly donut back thanks LOL -Dee
I love you Marge! You say everything perfectly here. Way to go in finding a great place to hang out and meet people. 12 blocks is fantastic.. there and back… wonderful. Have a great week.
I follow a similar diet, though I do get some animal sources when I feel I am seriously lacking. Did have to purchase an iron tablet that I take when I need. Take care.
I think you’re my new best friend. Much love and hugs being sent your way
You give me such inspiration and motivation!
